Published: February 2024

Herein, ambient electric arc ionization mass spectrometry was used to examine 16 plasticizers in various wrap films, demonstrating high sensitivity (detection limit: <0.2 ng/mg) and precision (intra-/inter-day precision: <12 %). The ease of operation helps in the identification of wrap film and plasticizer analysis. In addition, the introduction of a cold arc plasma treatment presents a practical and innovative method for effectively eliminating plasticizers. This innovative strategy has implications for both environmental protection and food safety.

As consumer awareness regarding health and nutrition continues to increase, there is a growing demand for fresh, nutritious fruits such as green grapes. However, the short storage life and susceptibility of these fruits to spoilage lead to significant commercial losses. Currently, the plastic wrap method is commonly used to keep green grapes fresh, but this packaging effect is limited and not environmentally friendly.

Background: Several interventions provided to newborns at birth or within 24 h after birth have been proven critical in improving neonatal survival and other birth outcomes. We aimed to provide an update on the effectiveness and safety of these interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Summary: Following a comprehensive scoping of the literature, we updated or re-analyzed the LMIC-specific evidence for included topics.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviews the effectiveness of the omentum in robotic-assisted reconstructive urology surgeries, highlighting its biological benefits and potential applications in complex procedures.
  • - A systematic search of three databases yielded 13 relevant studies, covering various repairs, such as vesicovaginal and rectourethral fistulas, with recurrence rates between 0% and 6.7% and low complication rates.
  • - The authors conclude that using omentum in robotic surgeries could be a safe and efficient option for complicated urological issues, but emphasize the need for more extensive studies to solidify its routine use in the field.

Article Synopsis
  • Environmental conditions, like climate variability, impact the costs and benefits of reproductive traits, affecting sexual selection.
  • The study focused on nuptial gift-giving spiders, examining how different climatic conditions influence male sexual traits and female mate choice.
  • Results showed that in highly variable environments, female choice is limited, leading to a preference for deceptive worthless gifts, while more stable environments promote better mate selection.

Valsa sordida and Botryosphaeria dothidea are two crucial necrotrophic fungal pathogens that damage many plant hosts, particularly species in the genus Populus. These two fungal pathogens occur mainly in poplar branches, stems, and twigs, causing classic symptoms such as canker lesions, canopy dieback, and wilting. Pathogen inoculation is the most efficient pathway to study the mechanism of plant disease.
